What is the GeneSight® test?

If you’re suffering from mental health challenges, the last thing anyone wants to go through is a lengthy trial and error process with multiple medications. The process can be frustrating and leave people feeling worse, not better. Fortunately, through GeneSight’s genetic testing, doctors can get answers that quickly lead to relief. Pharmacogenomic testing, or PGx testing, can help empower your doctor with the exact information needed to prescribe you the best medication for you. By examining your DNA, this simple, painless test lets doctors know which medications may not work for you, so you can get back to feeling like yourself again. That’s the power and simplicity of the GeneSight test.

If you’ve been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar disease, schizophrenia or related conditions, GeneSight Psychotropic’s genetic testing can help you shorten the road to recovery and escape the long and frustrating process of trying multiple medications for anxiety and depression and other conditions to find the one that works for you.

GeneSight®
Analgesic

For those experiencing acute or chronic pain, this genetic test analyzes how your genes affect your body’s response to FDA-approved opioids, NSAIDs and muscle relaxants to accurately determine which medications are optimal.

GeneSight®
ADHD

If you or your child have Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, this genetic test can help quickly and accurately determine which ADHD medications will work best with your (or your child’s) genes.

GeneSight®
MTHFR

The active form of folic acid is integral to the production of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. This genetic test analyzes one important gene to determine if your body can covert folic acid into its active form of L-methylfolate.

Why do we do it?

One in six Americans develop Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in their lifetime.6 Medications serve as a primary course of care for this condition, yet fewer than half of all depressed patients respond well to their first prescription and overall treatment failure rate exceed 50%.7

That’s because medications aren’t one size fits all. Historically, doctors have not had the data and insight to personalize treatments, until now. We developed the GeneSight test to personalize the way medicine is prescribed and get you back on the path to hope, faster. Using our tests, doctors have helped over 750,000 patients discover which medications might be more likely to work based on your genetic makeup. The GeneSight test can do the same for you.
